\ NEW society for young men has
lately been organized in this country.
1t was originated in England by an
English lady whose name is Miss Ellice
Hopkins. 1t has already been planted
in America through the agency of an
Episcopalian rector of New York, the
Rev. b. +. DeCosta. 1t is said that
Miss Hopkins, the originator, will soon
make visit to this country for the pur-
pose of developing interest in the new
movement. The purpose of this White
Cross society is to promote, among
young men, the principles and practices
of social purity. We can best state its
object by quoting the following from
the obligations required of its member
ship:
81. To treat all women with respect.
and endevor to protect them from
wrong and degradation"
so To endeaYor to put down all indie
cent language and course jests."
''3 To maintain the law of purity as
equally binding upon men and women"
"a To endevor to spread these prin-
ciples among my companions, and try
to help my younger brother"
s. To use all possible means to full
fill the commandment, Keep thy self
pure"

DEMOCRATIC papers are now indulg-
ing in communications from "Old Sol
diers'' who side with Cleveland against
Fairehild, Tuttle, Martin and other G..
n. X. men who entered their protest
against Cleveland over their own sigma
lures. But we have failed to notice, so
far, one of their communications, ex-
cept that of Gen. Sherman twho sud
denly changed his views after the flag
ORDER, that had name attached to it.
All of them are signed "Old Soldier, !"
ETC., and possibly they were old sol
diers, possibly of the Quantrell-Jesse
james kind.

A CONTRAST.

An ex-confederate soldier, in letter
to the New York Herald, takes the
following stand regarding the flag cpl
sode:
About that battle flag incident. The
southerners consider themselves just
as much part of the federal union as
the northerners are. You see, there
fore, that we are part owners of these
captured colors. And allow me to say
that there is no disappointment among
us that they were not given up. Keep
them where you will only keep them safe
and remember that, Stree they belong
to the United States, we, the people of
the south, being part and parcel of the
United States, have a share in the
ownership of them.
And the editor of the Herald, who
probably never in his life smelt pow
der, except at Fourth of July. cele-
bration, makes the following COM
ments. Mark the contrast between
the southern soldier and the northern
copperhead:
The south in the union? Who says
So? Ask Senator Sherman, and sec
how quickly he will unlock his skele-
ton closet and bring out that blood
stained shirt. Or ask General Fair
child, and mark his agility as he feels
in his vest pocket for those three dried
up palsies. In the union indeed! Why
one would think the war was over.

KANSAS CITY is much agited over its
its impure supply of water. This is
the way the Journal talks on the sub
ject:
That the water now drawn from the
kaw river is bad cannot be disputed. 1t
looks bad, it smells bad, it tastes bad,
and IL is bad. When water not known
il is safe to let it alone as far as possi-
BILE. We are free TO say that chemical
authorities in favor of Kaw water
would not have much practical influ-
ence in Kansas City ut this time.

LUd SMITH, the murderer of Baxter
near this city some time ago, has been
arrested in Missouri, and Lyon county
will be put to all the expense of trial
for the life of a Missouri murderer who
inveigled his victim into Kansas to kill
him, probably because he knew it was
comparatively safe to doso in this state,
as, even if caught in the act, his own
life would not be endangered. This
numbering business is becoming quite
frequent in our otherwise law-abiding
state, and Lyon county seems to have

TRAITORS of which lately have been resi-
dents of the country, or even the state.
